Nagbabadya ang malakas na ulan dulot ng namumuong bagyo. Hindi pa man nagsisimula ang buhos ng ulan ay malakas na ang ihip ng hangin. Halos tangayin nito ang sanga ng mga kahoy sa kabundukan. Ilang kahoy na rin ang naputol dahil sa lakas nito.
Wala pang gabi ay madilim na ang paligid.
Sa isang nakatagong kweba sa bundok ng Cyllene ay mag-isang nakatira ang nymph na si Maia.
Nakahawak ito sa kan'yang sinapupunan habang nakatitig sa isang maliit na lamparang nagbibigay liwanag sa kan'yang tahanan.
"How could you make me suffer like this?" she asked the baby inside her womb.
She's been impregnated by Zeus. She believes that the baby she's conceived is a powerful one; she suffered a lot during her pregnancy, and since the day that she realized that she's carrying a child of Zeus, the weather on Mount Cyllene has gotten worse. Every day is a stormy day, and the breeze of the wind never stops.
She has no idea what her child's ability would be, but she believes that it has something to do with the wind.
Habang palakas nang palakas ang ihip ng hangin ay sumasabay ang pagsakit ng kan'yang tiyan.
"Gosh!"
She realized she's going to deliver the baby and no one is with her.
"Universe! I'm giving birth to the son of the most powerful god, Zeus! Please! Please! Spare me some mercy!" she pleaded the universe.
"Please..."
Bumuhos ang malakas na ulan kasabay ng napakalakas na hangin. Nang mga oras na iyon ay hindi alam ni Maia ang kan'yang gagawin. Alam n'yang lalabas na ang sanggol, at malakas ang kan'yang kutob na mamamatay siya dahil dito.
Pakiramdam niya ay umiikot ang kan'yang paligid at ilang sandali lang ay naipikit nito ang kan'yang mga mata. Bago pa man lumabas ang sanggol ay nawalan na ng malay si Maia.
At that moment, the universe spared her and the child she's about to give birth to.
The messenger of the gods was born. Because of Maia's resilience, the universe gifted her Olympian son abilities that no other Olympian has.
They will call him Hermes, the fastest god could ever live.
